@rico I'm not following. Because Will Asher is 5 standard deviations to the right of me in athletic ability, I'm going to think I could ski just as well on a lower end ski?Or this just my day to not get it?

It was an old version but I took the HO Cx (I think it was called that) through 38 when new. My friend took it into deep 39 and bought one to take back home to Italy. He came off a Monza. Capable ski no doubt. Prob overlooked by most as a ski to test.
